I've covered and documented well over 50 marches and protests as a photojournalist dating back to May 28, 2020. Some of those marches had close to 20,000 people in them. Today, June 9, 2025, is the day that I finally broke down and purchased body armor.

Cincinnati: ICE tricked new high school grad soccer player to come for an appointment. They arrested him to send him to Honduras — a country he left 10 years ago, where he has no one. www.wcpo.com/news/local-n...

Who comes up with this stuff?

Breaking news: A federal judge barred the Trump administration from deporting the family of a man accused of throwing Molotov cocktails at a demonstration in Colorado after immigration officials detained them and vowed to immediately expel them.

So Americans basically paid $22.3 billion in taxes last month due to Trump’s tariffs. Got it.

Wow… www.reuters.com/world/us/fem...

Pretty neat flyby that ended with a little aerial ‘combat’ (play fighting that occurs during their development and/or courtship) before they bugged out. #wildlifephotography #photography #naturephotography

Elon Musk “apparently did not anticipate that it would be bad PR for the world’s richest man to take food and medicine from the world’s poorest children,” our columnist Michelle Goldberg writes.

So much to unpack here. Unfortunately, no mention of the soldiers that paid the ultimate sacrifice to our nation that we honor on Memorial Day.

Five years. #GeorgeFloyd

On May 16th, an EF-4 tornado carved a 16-mile path of destruction through Laurel County, Ky., leaving 19 people dead. A week later, there’s still a ton of work that needs to be done to help get these folks back on their feet and find some sense of normalcy in their world and lives.

She always finds me — even when I’m hiding under the trees in the pouring rain.

Some reports suggest osprey can reach 80 mph at impact when taking a fish from the water’s surface. Not sure how fast this one was going as my D5’s don’t have built in radar guns 😆

When you’re a homeowner, you have big dreams and then life gets in the way. She’s always wanted the perfect deck for relaxing and being surrounded by big gardens full of veggies and pollinators. We worked our asses off today and now, we get to enjoy the fruits of our labor.

Beautiful weather, sellout crowd, Brandon says hello to his friends with a goal on a PK, and FC Cincinnati gets the W and ends the evening leading the Eastern Conference in Major League Soccer.

The sound a mute swan makes passing 20 feet overhead at 50 mph is indescribable and unforgettable. #wildlife #wildlifephotography

Poured this morning. But… an old friend returned, gave me the ‘nod’ as I snapped a portrait, and the elements made for some nice frames.

This is real. From Trump and the White House. I’d like to believe that every MAGA Catholic and MAGA Christian would see this as the tipping point. It’s insulting to the greatest Pope in history. But they won’t. They’ll eat it up.

Another beautiful morning at Oxbow

Kinda feels like everything is beginning to return to normal following two massive floods and what seemed like a winter that would never end. Hopefully, we’ll see the osprey soon. #wildlifephotography #wildlife

Beautiful great horned owl with eyes that pierce your soul this morning at Oxbow.

The incompetence is staggering.

One of my images from the Cincinnati protest yesterday morning made CNN last night. Nice to see the movement getting national attention. www.cnn.com/2025/04/19/u...

Cold and windy this morning but for a few seconds in time — it was perfect.

Undocumented immigrants who've been paying taxes in the US are facing an unsettling possibility: This year, that may be used against them. Here's a look at what's happening and why it matters. cnn.it/42cAY7e

EXCLUSIVE: A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

This is fascism.

2024 was a very successful year for me as a photographer. Therefore, I (we) paid out quite a bit in taxes. Too bad my (our) money is going to the most corrupt administration in our nation’s history to help oligarchs versus helping my fellow Americans (as it should). This shit sucks.
